I've got a server that's running with development contributions from a lot of people other than myself. I didn't put up an ebay auction and try to sell my source and database; you came to me and asked how much it would cost for me to sell you my hobby. So don't bring this shit to these boards and try to make me sound like a douche bag.
I prefer facts to interpretations, here's the PM that was sent to me on
our forums:

I'd also want to clear that with some of my devs that have helped put in time above and beyond my own.
As far as having time to help you sort out your database, there's not a lot I can do right now (as I've got extremely limited time for these projects for the foreseeable future), and it sounds like you're just trying to rebuild what we've already built.
If you're interested, let me know and I'll have the conversation with our other devs.
Thanks,
Dax

Im using PEQ's latest db, but editting a lot of it. I'm trying to make a server just like your's but PVE. Is there anyway I can get some peices of your db? Or any of it? If you can contribute, I will either A.) Use your server name in the login and make it PVE. B.) Use your server's name in the MOTD for thanks and appreciation. or C.) The above with a donation of USD $. Pending on what you are willing to do. I understand if you laugh your ass off at this message. You dont know me, nor would you care to be bothered by me. But I am trying to host a Classic pre-kunark progression server, PVE.

Believe me, when my server shuts down (I hope that I'm dead first), I'll post all of our source, and database here. If there's something specific about my server that someone is interested in, then I'm always willing to help out. No one has asked me for my hack detector source yet, so making uninformed accusations about what I would or wouldn't be willing to release is just flame-bait.
And no, I'm not really interested in handing out my full database to everyone that asks for it (and there have been a lot of people ask us for it). That doesn't mean that I'm an asshole, and it doesn't mean that I'm closing myself off like ProjectEQ. If I was interested in making money (or even compensating for my effort), I wouldn't refuse donations from our population, but I've never accepted (let alone requested) a penny from anyone. However, if someone comes to me and asks me to put a pricetag on it, it doesn't really make sense to come back and call me an asshole for humoring the offer (and no, I didn't expect him to actually do it). I'm willing to help, but before you start calling me out, what have you done for the project other than ask for someone else to put all of the sweat into it for you, so you can clone their work?

P.S. None of this is directed at Ax, obviously.
